Hazel had a great time staying at Matthew's place and she was so well cared for. Matthew was very quick to respond to my messages. I also really appreciated the regular updates provided while she was staying there. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Matthew watching our dog, Oakley. From the start, he was easy to communicate with, responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Oakley in his care. Oakley can be energetic and needs a good amount of attention, and Matthew handled him wonderfully. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Oakley up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re very grateful for the excellent care Matthew provided and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
